Why are Cars prices when bought in Labuan/ Langkawi varies so much when compared to other states?If I'm in KK wanna buy car from Labuan, is it possible? If so, why not everyone go buy from Labuan?Ex: Honda City Grade E, Normal in KK, OTR, RM 90,980, but in Labuan, it's RM 62,480.

i live at kk sabah.Buy a car from labuan??it is not impossible..but prepare a cash to pay tax to custom.let say if u buy a brand new car like city, RM62K at labuan, then custom will evaluate the car value.then u need to pay the tax before u can free the car from labuan.so plus minus not worthy.

For CBU cars, will get approx 100% market value tax; for CKD, it's approx 50% market value. Say a Mitsubishi ASX, selling here in Langkawi for 70k, then 100% tax (another 70k) will make it 140k, which is the same as mainland. A Grand Livina 1.8 selling here 72k, so add 50% tax is about 98k, which is same as peninsula.

The subjective thing here is the market value valuation - "subjective" means depend on the custom officer... That's why some people will buy and use car in Langkawi for at least 6 months, then only send it over to mainland.

Of course, luxury segment cars have higher tax structure, up to 300% of market value. But again, it is very "subjective"...Depending on the "subject" (read officer) you are dealing with.
